Dan Peres
As Needed For Pain
Dan Peres was Editor-in-Chief of Details for 15 years, starting in 2000, when the title relaunched under his leadership. During his tenure, the magazine won two National Magazine Awards and earned several other nominations, including General Excellence. Peres’s career at Details is well known, but little was known about his private life as a high-functioning drug addict. He now tells it all in AS NEEDED FOR PAIN. A raw and riveting — and often wryly funny — addiction memoir, Peres opens up about his story of opioid addiction and the drastic impact it had on his life and career.
XO chats with Dan about his journey to sobriety. Take a listen.
